those people who saw this on their 3ds one day, and went through hell trying to finding, and one or two years later you found it...., I feel your pain.
i could not for the life of me remember what it was called and so i ended up googling things like "music video with claymation rabbit" and the like. finally found it after about four years after seeing it for the first time
Oddly enough, I found this years after the hype basically died out, but this is amazing regardless of hype. The stop motion is great, the characters have personalities despite never talking, the magic has a distinct style, it's just so good.
right? for a 3 and a half minute long video, it has surprisingly deep story, that you can interpret in unlimited ways. Almost every scene would make great desktop. And together with the music, it has so much emotion. This video-clip is one of the best i have ever seen.
I had completely forgotten about this! I remember first watching it on my 3DS, on that channel that would occasionally post music videos or animations in 3D that were weirdly, usually stop motion. God, that nostalgia!!
YES!!! I remember replaying it over and over this one specific night stay at my grandparents and it took me so long to find it as I only remember bits of the music video, mostly the tall men. Im so happy I found it cause it still goes hard
Anyone else wants a full-length movie of this that literally has no talking and relies on the expressions and body language of the characters? No? Just me?
The song is very nice, but what really stands out is the stop motion film. It is incredibly beautiful and amazingly well executed. Bravo to the artists who did it
Jamie Caliri did it. He’s done animation for a bunch of music videos and tv show openings. He also did the ending credits to A Series Of Unfortunate Events.
Obviously this is 9 years old at this point so someones probably said it, but theres a parallel to the greek Moirai in the scene where one man has a thread come from his eyepatch (the three fates are said to share 1 eye) who would be Clotho, another who pulls out a length who would be Lachesis, and the one who cuts the thread who would be Atropos. The threads the fates cut are the lives of mortals. The rabbit likely represents someone whose life they ended.
I know this is an old comment but this is an awesome catch. Reminds me of Hercules (my favorite Disney movie) - that scene in the underworld where the fates are about to cut his “thread” while he jumps in to rescue Meg before hers is cut. The three of them are also all “blind” and swap around one eyeball to look at things. That scene always creeped me out as a kid so it always stuck with me but probably why I’m so interested in Greek mythology now lol.
At the end of the video, I like to imagine that the three sorcerers are sitting in the chairs and clapping. Like, "Hmm, not bad." That would've been nice. Still, whoever made this video was visited by the Muse. Very nice.
I mean, what else is there to do when you are a creepy looking magician with a fine moustache and someone steals your rabbit? Although I feel like the young magician would plummet to his death sooner than he would starve to death.
The video has nothing to do with the heartbreaking lyrics but it's still such a great piece of work and complements the music so well. This is a classic.
I don't know; if you think about it, both the three men in suits and the magician are using the rabbit for their own personal gains. Does the rabbit get any say in this? No, but it is taken to unknown places and turned into a monster of violence regardless.
I thought that maybe the chairs symbolized personal accomplishments and self worth. When you improve upon something, even to the point where you outdo others, the most important thing is that you have confidence and the will to continue improving even if no one is really there to support you or cheer you along. The numerous amount of chairs in the end were symbolic as to how the girl felt as she continued to improve with magic. In reality there wasn't a single soul present to be amazed or made aware of her potential. Despite this, the girl felt as if she completed a feat which was worthy of a grand audience, hence the chairs.
I shared the same thought; especially put next to the lyrics “you’re not invisible now” and “your mother would be so proud”. I also feel like the magicians symbolized the culmination of doubt and physical challenges, and when she puts on those goggles, it was a metaphor for changing her perspective, which is the only way to overcome them. While no one was there to support her, she knew She was worthy of a crowd. She was the only audience she needed.
Another good interpretation fits with the song’s lyrics: basically, the magician is representative of a driving force that would be used to convince people into actions on the level of suicide bombing (an example being extremist religious doctrine). At the end of the video, the bomb has exploded, and now the magician bows to a greater audience. The event puts more attention on her on a grand scale, yet in today’s world, the audience is invisible. You never know how many people see an event like that, look into why that person did it, and genuinely go “hey, I agree with this.” And become indoctrinated themselves.
When I was a kid, I had a 3DS, and at that time, many years ago, I watched this particular video on that console. it made me feel...strange, kind of sad, and at the same time scared...uncomfortable, but at the same time, I loved how that cute, disturbing and beautiful animation looked I didn't hear from her until tonight. I even doubted the existence of this video or that I have seen it on my console for so many years it's great to see it's real
@@saganc.4090 I hear sublimate. But open to interpretation. Sometimes Mercer’s lyrics are pretty abstract. Not sure he’d mind if we heard different things. Heckuva song tho.
It's sublimate, to turn from solid to liquid, then to drowning us a wish is essentially them blowing up and everything changing it's form. Very dark but brilliant lyrics
Nintendo Video gave us Bee & Puppy Cat, Smash 4 Leaderboard videos, Dinosaur Office, Bravest Warriors & more! Now we can just go on YT and find this shit
Not just because is stop motion it has to be related with Tim Burton, in fact, it doesn't have anything of his style. The director is the amazing Alexander Juhasz, who made the book in the film The Babadook, and was a producer and desginer in the stop motion part of the new "The Little Prince".
As the rabbit slowly folded into nothing, the three men stared in amazement. Their new pet rabbit had been lost. They had bought it just a short train ride ago, and, being magicians, decided to make it black because they liked the color. After a short consultation amongst themselves, they came to the conclusion that the rabbit had been taken using a short-range teleportation spell. Accordingly, they began to search for their lost rabbit. As they searched, they became more and more infuriated about their rabbit being stolen right underneath their noses. The one-eyed man, having a telescope, had more visible range and just made out a small magic show hosted by a child. He pointed it out and they all decided to check it out. When they got to the surprisingly talented girl's show, they spotted the rabbit in a crate near the girl's feet. Obviously, they inquired as to how the girl had obtained it. She told them it was just a simple rabbit-in-a-hat trick, and that she intended to keep it. After a heated argument over the ownership of the rabbit, the men put her in a bag and cast a spell on the bag so that it would take the girl home, her being far too young to be on her own. After hauling the crate (still having the rabbit in it) quite a far distance, the crate suddenly flung itself onto the ground. What they saw next would be their worst nightmare. Their beautiful rabbit that they would cherish and love forever was morphed into a hideous beast, ready to tear them apart. Casting a counter-spell, the men waited for the rabbit to change back, but the girl had made the rabbit this way permanently. The rabbit launched a fireball at the men and they all fell, never to get back up again. As they were slowly dying, they watched the girl land and take a bow. It had all been a sadistic play, for no one to watch. It was all just to humor this girl that had stolen their beloved rabbit, and turned it into a monster. May those men rest in peace, they did what they could.
Lyrics: Dead lungs command it. You pour your life down the rifle's spiral And show us you've earned it. Cleric's fog will recede right before your eyes. So long to this wretched form. Them grey eyes on the subway Long before you were born You were always to be a dagger floating Straight to their heart. Listen, now, we won't tell anyone. But you're gonna tell the world. So life ain't then any fun. Let your viscera unfurl As you rise; rise from your burning fiat, Go, go get my suitcase, would you? You've thoroughly blown their minds. And now I must have passage on the lines To the veins from your heart. You're not invisible, now. You just don't exist. Your mother must be so proud. You sublimate yourself, granting us a wish. Primitive mirror on the wall, to fortify your grim resolve. And made the glitz of a shopping mall another grain of indigent salt for the sea. Good night to these wretched forms All them gray eyes on the subway So long before you were born you were always to be a dagger floating straight to their heart.
What a profound piece of art! Not only this song, but this video too. It beautifully demonstrates the tug of war between two seemingly opposite sides that ultimately both want to use you and are either corrupt or full of empty promise. The grand irony, and the greatest magic trick of all is that in the end the rabbit rose up to save one master from another. Its the path of impossible situations. The rabbit has all the power, only to ultimately be a tool one way or another.
Suddenly remembered the lyrics humming it to myself at work, then realized I remembered and quickly searched it up before I forgot. Just as beautiful as the day I lost you.
Jamie Caliri did the stopmotion. He’s done animation for a bunch of music videos and tv show openings. He also did the ending credits to A Series Of Unfortunate Events.
@@benm.7416 “The song is written from the perspective of somebody funding and paying for suicide bombers to engage in that horrible activity. Just the perverse and grotesque thing that that is, and you know, living in the age we live in and my disrespect and fear of religion in general just fueling that intense hatred and appalling violence.” - James Mercer on the song from Magnet magazine interview
yuh! Where did this song showed in 3DS? Was it in a game, at a commercial..? Sorry, seems like I am one of those who hadn't had 3DS and I cannot imagine the context of where it could have shownXD
María Benedicto Almero the 3ds had a thing that would show videos, specifically designed to show the 3ds 3D capacities, and this was one of those videos
Such a fascinating and beautiful video. The animation is stunning, nearly Nightmare Before Christmas quality, the story is understood without any spoken words, the symbolism is so interesting, and the music compliments the way the animation feels. It's just perfect.

Thes are the Lyrics provided by Genius (probably true): Dead lungs command it You pour your life down the rifle's spiral And show us you've earned it Your Clerics fog will recede right before your eyes So long to this wretched form Them gray eyes on the subway Long before you were born You were always to be a dagger floating Straight to their heart Listen, now, we won't tell anyone But you're gonna tell the world This whole life ain't been any fun Now your viscera unfurls As you rise, rise from your burning fiat And go, go get my suitcase, would ya? You've thoroughly blown their mind And now I must have passage Only life's two veins from your heart You're not invisible, now You just don't exist Your mother must be so proud You sublimate yourself, granting us a wish Primitive mural on the wall To fortify your grim resolve Amid the glitz of a shopping mall Another grain of indigent salt for the sea Goodnight to these wretched forms All them gray eyes on the subway So long before you were born You were always to be a dagger floating Straight to their heart
@@theturtlekid6901 didn't know why I wrote correct in caps I was probably pissed because of something. Anyways, I don't think there are actually true confirmed Lyrics for this song yet. So my *CORRECT* was useless. Pardon.

a lot of people are talking about the music video to this and ignoring the song. the video is really good, but this song is a fucking masterpiece and should be remembered for generations
2:20 When she assembled the glasses, she uses them to speak to the rabbit telepathically. Here’s what she said: “I won’t let them hurt you again. They want your power. Use your power to save us both. Everything will be fine.”
I love how the video is framed around the assumption that the men in black suits are the bad guys, and everyone in the comments is pointedly refusing to make that assumption.
the lyrics are so fucking brutal "you sublimate yourself, granting us a wish" sublimate means a solid turning into a gas or vapor. what a way to describe being turned into a red mist
The real question is... Where did they store their magic string before one of them lost an eye? Alternatively, do you think they drew straws to see who' had to give one up?
This Shins I feel are so underrated/ forgotten. There's something about their music that makes you feel like you're overcoming that hump in life and you're on your way down the slope into good times again
This video is brilliant... and I can't stop from playing this song on repeat. I'm a huge Shins fan, and this song is probably up there along with 'Sleeping Lessons' as my favourite.

Can't stop coming back to this. sometimes i just put my phone down and listen to the story told by the lyrics and others i watch the amazing stop-motion with its beautifuly carved figures. one of my favorite songs ever and im so glad i found this!

You know that feeling when you see some cool short animation on RUclips and you want a feature-length film based on it? Heck, with this I'd be happy even with a short animation on RUclips
That happened with a short I saw called "Faceless Neil"... I'm still waiting for the full length movie and it's been about 10 years. It's a great short, you should still check it out though.

I saw this on my 3DS YEARS ago! I've been looking for it for so long because I remembered it being one of the coolest things I'd ever seen at the time (I was like 12 or something) and I'd loved the song but I had no way to find it at the time and after a few years had past I couldn't remember it well enough. But I finally went through a list of all the videos that were on the Nintendo video thing and I finally found it :D
I'd like a show or comic about this setting full of order vs chaos wizards in some sort of magical warfare. Honestly it's the entire reason I watch this video. It's a cool video.
Its great to see some animation that clearly has a lot of time and effort put into it. It means more when you can clearly see the workmanship and you can fully appreciate how long it must of took. All too often today more and more people rely on C.G.I and although it can look good it looses any sense of reality, it simply isn't there. However, something like this comes along and reminds you what an art form animation really is. It also is a good thing when the quality of the music reflects the quality of the video.
The problem with CGI is that more and more we see things stolen consept arts from arts, using prompts with little change or really good arts that lack history (since most games are made by ruge groups, are completely comercial things and not rarely the artist needs to work with little or no history for background) of course, that's my perspective from games, there is a lot of good CGI arts and a good present director can make a hell of difference. But, as something that's need time, patience stop motion attracts the dedicated ones and are often make by small but unified groups and it ingreses the chance of solid results. (Feel free to say if I said something stupid)

Sorry about the weird ending. It was hard to end it on a light note, it being from the losing side, but I tried.
yeh
yeh
Holy shit this is outstanding!
That. Was. Amazing. I loved it
Lyrics:
Dead lungs command it.
You pour your life down the rifle's spiral
And show us you've earned it.
Cleric's fog will recede right before your eyes.
So long to this wretched form.
Them grey eyes on the subway
Long before you were born
You were always to be a dagger floating
Straight to their heart.
Listen, now, we won't tell anyone.
But you're gonna tell the world.
So life ain't then any fun.
Let your viscera unfurl
As you rise; rise from your burning fiat,
Go, go get my suitcase, would you?
You've thoroughly blown their minds.
And now I must have passage on the lines
To the veins from your heart.
You're not invisible, now.
You just don't exist.
Your mother must be so proud.
You sublimate yourself, granting us a wish.
Primitive mirror on the wall,
to fortify your grim resolve.
And made the glitz of a shopping mall
another grain of indigent salt for the sea.
Good night to these wretched forms
All them gray eyes on the subway
So long before you were born
you were always to be a dagger floating
straight to their heart.
Thanks man
esprit mort thanks 😊
DEM GREY EYES ON DA SOOBWAY
"Primitive *Mural* on the wall"
Thanks a bunch tho!
Two veins from your heart*
What a profound piece of art! Not only this song, but this video too. It beautifully demonstrates the tug of war between two seemingly opposite sides that ultimately both want to use you and are either corrupt or full of empty promise. The grand irony, and the greatest magic trick of all is that in the end the rabbit rose up to save one master from another. Its the path of impossible situations. The rabbit has all the power, only to ultimately be a tool one way or another.
I finally get the symbolism of the song!! Thank you!
Suddenly remembered the lyrics humming it to myself at work, then realized I remembered and quickly searched it up before I forgot. Just as beautiful as the day I lost you.
Took me 9 years to find this video literally
Saw this for years but just never clicked it for some reason
I am very glad I finally did recently, the animation and music are just incredible!
Jamie Caliri did the stopmotion. He’s done animation for a bunch of music videos and tv show openings. He also did the ending credits to A Series Of Unfortunate Events.
loved this song. I didnt know it was about a suicide bomber until recently. now the lyrics really stick. beautifully chilling.
Seriously ? What happened ? Can you please explain to me ?
@@benm.7416 “The song is written from the perspective of somebody funding and paying for suicide bombers to engage in that horrible activity. Just the perverse and grotesque thing that that is, and you know, living in the age we live in and my disrespect and fear of religion in general just fueling that intense hatred and appalling violence.” - James Mercer on the song from Magnet magazine interview
The words have so much more weight once you know that
Man, since I learned that it never really `landed` the same way again
@@Braham_the_Terror Thanks for explaining.
Oh my god I remember this in 3D on my 3DS it was amazing.
yuh! Where did this song showed in 3DS? Was it in a game, at a commercial..? Sorry, seems like I am one of those who hadn't had 3DS and I cannot imagine the context of where it could have shownXD
i think he meant he watched it on a Nintendo 3Ds with the 3D setting on
@@profesionalmiser7390 no it was on a program on the 3ds called nintendo video where nintendo had various videos put up from time to time
María Benedicto Almero the 3ds had a thing that would show videos, specifically designed to show the 3ds 3D capacities, and this was one of those videos
This was shown on the Nintendo Video app on the 3DS in 3D
Not sure why The Shins ever fell out of my playlist, but I’m glad this video was randomly recommended to me
Such a fascinating and beautiful video. The animation is stunning, nearly Nightmare Before Christmas quality, the story is understood without any spoken words, the symbolism is so interesting, and the music compliments the way the animation feels. It's just perfect.

I remember only having nintendo video and this was all i would watch for days lmao
it was the best
Im back after 3 years, im leaving a comment incase i forget this song again
So nostalgia and Nintendo 3DS brought us all together today...
???
This band is underrated... THEY MUST BE KNOWN
+1000000000
Why? Will the music get better? How will it affect your life?
What is it, where is it, how will it affect me?
Guess what, Cloudy Daze: some of us have known about this band for years.
Super cool that you're gonna headline them, though.
I remember when this came out on Nintendo Video back when I first got my 3DS years ago. Fell in love the minute I heard it play.
After all these years of watching it on my 3DS then finding it on RUclips just to watch it over and over and over cause it's just a good music video with good vibe
Thes are the Lyrics provided by Genius (probably true):
Dead lungs command it

Listen, now, we won't tell anyone

This whole life ain't been any fun
Now your viscera unfurls
As you rise, rise from your burning fiat
And go, go get my suitcase, would ya?
You've thoroughly blown their mind
And now I must have passage
Only life's two veins from your heart
You're not invisible, now
You just don't exist
Your mother must be so proud
You sublimate yourself, granting us a wish
Primitive mural on the wall
To fortify your grim resolve
Amid the glitz of a shopping mall
Another grain of indigent salt for the sea
Goodnight to these wretched forms
All them gray eyes on the subway
So long before you were born
You were always to be a dagger floating
Straight to their heart
I hear “goodnight to this wretched form” at the end but it might just be me
@@theturtlekid6901 didn't know why I wrote correct in caps I was probably pissed because of something. Anyways, I don't think there are actually true confirmed Lyrics for this song yet. So my *CORRECT* was useless. Pardon.
It’s perfectly fine. I’ve tried searching for the lyrics and I’ve seen multiple versions which is annoying. The lyrics you’ve put here are the best I’ve seen, so thank you for that.
Reminds me of what would happen if the world of Grim Fandango merged with Nightmare before Christmas.
Exactly

i couldn’t find this song for YEARS after hearing it thru my 3DS and like 3 years afterwards, i managed to find it. THAT’S the struggle.
It took me 10 years and im just now finding it today
a lot of people are talking about the music video to this and ignoring the song. the video is really good, but this song is a fucking masterpiece and should be remembered for generations
2:20 When she assembled the glasses, she uses them to speak to the rabbit telepathically. Here’s what she said: “I won’t let them hurt you again. They want your power. Use your power to save us both. Everything will be fine.”
This is the video that got me interested in animation.
I’ve been looking for this song, since the first time I lost it back in 2016.
I adore this animation.
the suit men freaked me out when this came out on my 3ds's nintendo video, but GOD am i so glad to find this song again
I love how the video is framed around the assumption that the men in black suits are the bad guys, and everyone in the comments is pointedly refusing to make that assumption.
Still absolutely chilling and magical, all these years later. The video just adds to the incredible audio. this band is severely underrated
When youtube recommends a video from over 4 years ago, you know it'll be good.
After all these years this is still a good song I've used put this on repeat
the lyrics are so fucking brutal "you sublimate yourself, granting us a wish" sublimate means a solid turning into a gas or vapor. what a way to describe being turned into a red mist
If I ever meet the absolute genius team behind this animation, I will personally shake every one of their hands.
This song speaks to me it’s such an inspiration
The real question is...
Where did they store their magic string before one of them lost an eye?
Alternatively, do you think they drew straws to see who' had to give one up?
0:51 Well, that's no ordinary rabbit! That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!
i see that you're a man of culture as well ;)
Why is the fbi looking at the shins?
I was trying to look at the thighs but looked too low
@@thefbi9581 got em
But..... Rabbits aren't rodents
i remember watching this on my 3ds! back in 2012
This Shins I feel are so underrated/ forgotten. There's something about their music that makes you feel like you're overcoming that hump in life and you're on your way down the slope into good times again
This video is brilliant... and I can't stop from playing this song on repeat.
I'm a huge Shins fan, and this song is probably up there along with 'Sleeping Lessons' as my favourite.
I want an entire story based around this concept, in this art style. PLEASE.
Jamie Caliri did the stopmotion. He’s done animation for a bunch of music videos and tv show openings. He also did the ending credits to A Series Of Unfortunate Events.
Can't stop coming back to this. sometimes i just put my phone down and listen to the story told by the lyrics and others i watch the amazing stop-motion with its beautifuly carved figures. one of my favorite songs ever and im so glad i found this!

I love this magician's duel. It's just beautiful.
This is possibly one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen. It’s reigniting some fear I had when I first watched this. Good lord.
In what way? I loved the aesthetic of the animation, kinda Tim Burton-esque
I can't put in words how much I love the atmosphere of that song ❤
You know that feeling when you see some cool short animation on RUclips and you want a feature-length film based on it?
Heck, with this I'd be happy even with a short animation on RUclips
That happened with a short I saw called "Faceless Neil"... I'm still waiting for the full length movie and it's been about 10 years. It's a great short, you should still check it out though.

@@JustAPrayer Thought that was a book series
Literally my childhood. I first saw it on my DS. I was in love and it took me forever to find it again
The great search is over :^) I finally found it
3DS?
+Boyborg690_ no it was on my n64
+MrCrazy550 it was on my MS DOS computer.
It was on my Nokia
Am i the only one who DIDN'T come here from Nintendo video?
nah im with u
Same same to
me too :) I hear it since it was officially out. ;)
I heard this on the bridge k.c.
Yes
I saw this on my 3DS YEARS ago! I've been looking for it for so long because I remembered it being one of the coolest things I'd ever seen at the time (I was like 12 or something) and I'd loved the song but I had no way to find it at the time and after a few years had past I couldn't remember it well enough. But I finally went through a list of all the videos that were on the Nintendo video thing and I finally found it :D
I just now found it after searching for 10 years!
Anyone remember watching this on your 3DS
I'd like a show or comic about this setting full of order vs chaos wizards in some sort of magical warfare. Honestly it's the entire reason I watch this video. It's a cool video.
I used to watch this on my 3DS
I need this movie. There's not enough creative and creepy stop motion movies. Coraline, come back and start renesance
oh, Nintendo Video, how I miss you...
the chairs then burst into applause
Rest in peace Richard Swift :(
Thank you Nintendo video for showing me this piece of art when I was 13
Every year, without fail, I come back to this.
Its great to see some animation that clearly has a lot of time and effort put into it.
It means more when you can clearly see the workmanship and you can fully appreciate how long it must of took.
All too often today more and more people rely on C.G.I and although it can look good it looses any sense of reality, it simply isn't there. However, something like this comes along and reminds you what an art form animation really is.
It also is a good thing when the quality of the music reflects the quality of the video.
It's stopmotion. The entire music video is stopmotion. It still takes almost as much time as.
The problem with CGI is that more and more we see things stolen consept arts from arts, using prompts with little change or really good arts that lack history (since most games are made by ruge groups, are completely comercial things and not rarely the artist needs to work with little or no history for background) of course, that's my perspective from games, there is a lot of good CGI arts and a good present director can make a hell of difference. But, as something that's need time, patience stop motion attracts the dedicated ones and are often make by small but unified groups and it ingreses the chance of solid results.
(Feel free to say if I said something stupid)

These are some of the most creative lyrics I've ever heard
I was entranced by this as a child on the 3DS video app, and here I am at age 23 still listening to it
Yo anyone remember dinosaur office? That shit was fire.
Holy nostalgia
I cant even understand like. Half the lyrics in this song but the cadence and flow are so captivating.
It's supposed to be about Sending a Suicide Bomber from the senders perspective
I refuse to see it that way,and i just adopt the old "Messing with Nature" thing
Got this randomly in my recommended, I don't normally pass up stop motion or music I haven't heard before if the YT gods choose it
lucky i always have to go through a trip to find it, but i knew from like 2012 on dsi
Whoever is the genious behind this videoclip I salute you, thanks for the effort of the team, its amazing.
This reminds me so much of Tim Burton. It's amazing!
Yeah, this and Tim Burton's stuff are all stop motion.
I remember watching this video nonstop on my 3DS.
Oh, the nostalgia.
WTH, this is a really cool music video! Love the stop motion!!
This gives me memories of the 3ds youtube app
The "well fuck" expression on their faces at 2:55 thou
i remember watching this on my 3DS, oh my god. i'm so, so happy to have remembered the lyrics.
